The Ciskei Defence Force (CDF) was established upon that country's independence on 4 December 1981. The Republic of Ciskei ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Ciskei Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

The President's Medal for Shooting was instituted by the President of Ciskei in 1988.

Since the President's Medal for Shooting was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date. • Ciskei Defence Force until 26 April 1994: • Illustration — Medal for Long Service, Bronze • Illustration — President's Medal for Shooting • Official CDF order of precedence: • Preceded by the Medal for Long Service, Bronze. • Ciskei official national order of precedence: • Preceded by the Prisons Service Medal for Faithful Service. • South African National Defence Force from 27 April 1994: • Illustration — National Cadet Bisley Grand Champion Medal • Illustration — President's Medal for Shooting • Illustration — State President's Medal for Shooting • Official SANDF order of precedence: • Preceded by the National Cadet Bisley Grand Champion Medal of the Republic of South Africa. • Succeeded by the State President's Medal for Shooting of the Republic of Bophuthatswana. • Official national order of precedence: • Preceded by the National Cadet Bisley Grand Champion Medal of the Republic of South Africa. • Succeeded by the State President's Medal for Shooting of the Republic of Bophuthatswana. The position of the President's Medal for Shooting in the official order of precedence was revised twice after 1994, to accommodate the inclusion or institution of new decorations and medals, first in April 1996 when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003, but it remained unchanged on both occasions.

Conferment of the President's Medal for Shooting was discontinued when the Republic of Ciskei ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.
